Chemistry 2 at IRE

This semester, approximately 18 students from IRE are completing a Chemistry 2 course offered from ICC. The course is taught by ICC instructor Gordy Savela every Wednesday evening from 6:00-9:00p.m. and is modeled similarly to a typical IRE competency. Each week, a different group of students presents and teaches the class real world applications of core chemistry 2 principles and then a lab is conducted that applies to the topics covered. For example, the Auto Tech. group taught the chemistry in your car's battery, along with how the deployment of the airbag is a complex chemical reaction.

In my opinion, this course is valuable because it applies the core topics of a typical Chem 2 class to real-world examples. It helps me to better understand these topics and carry them with me into my future career. Below are a few picture of students conducting a lab experiment, and Gordy talking with students about a topic covered.
